Government Publishes Response to Hargreaves Review of IP

Posted by : Peter Wienand | Date posted : 22/09/2011

The Government's recently published its response to the Hargreaves Review. That response broadly accepted Hargreaves' 10 recommendations but the Government’s route forward requires a number of legislative amendments, action by bodies such as the IP Office (“IPO”) and OFCOM, as well as further development through Government consultations.

This briefing looks at what needs to be done.
